Community Potpourri

Want to lend a helping hand?  We need volunteers to go to each location and swap the art.  Please email John-Paul Butcher, the art teacher at the high school, at butcher@platteville.k12.wi.us, or Wynonna Clark at Westview, at neves@platteville.k12.wi.us, if you can help with these monthly rotations.  Many hands make light work.
